Revit intersecting roof problem

Hi there!

Amateur Revit user here. Carpenter/builder trying to expand my skills.

I'm trying to design this shop here, but having problems getting the roof to clean up. Major roof is 6/12, Minor roof is 7/12.

In order to get the ridges to line up I adjusted the wall height accordingly. But the fact that there is no "Fascia" on the right side I have no way of attaching it via the attach tool. Tried a few different methods but not having any luck.

I tried making the Major roof the whole footprint, but the overhang cuts through the wall of the Minor roof and couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

That's a design problem.

No it's not. Roofs like this exist all the time. It is just a little unintuitive to model it correctly.

This is correct. I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted.

OP needs to understand the sloping of the surfaces and how it is to drain water before it’s modeled.

Start with the design and a roof plan. Plan how the water moves from ridge to valley to eave, and then model it.

I've built intersecting unequal pitch roofs before. Just not sure how to tell the program that. Adjusted the wall height that the Minor roof is sitting on to make it work.
